Before starting the company, Dean Markley was a music store owner in Santa Clara, California. In 1972 he began selling string designs he came up with himself through experimentation. Markley eventually developed and sold cryogenically frozen Blue Steel strings, which became the world's biggest-selling strings. He also created the Voice Box effect pedal used by Peter Frampton in the 1970s.
The cryogenic process removes transient material that produces harsh highs and muddy lows that kill the sound and life of your string. Made of 8% nickel-plated steel outer wrap on tinned Mandolin wire hex-core, Blue Steel strings have been best sellers worldwide for over 30 years and are used by the best musicians everywhere.
As the official supplier of Dean Markley products to the Russian market, Lutner company offers the most complete assortment of Blue Steel, Blackhawk, SR2000 strings, as well as Dean Markley cables and pickups.
